JRC ECDIS parts for sale

We are please to offer JRC ECDIS spare parts in good working condition.
It was installed on one multipurpose cargo vessel, as only one 19' JRC ECDIS onboard, We have removed the old JRC ecdis and replaced with a Danelec DM700 ECDIS master and backup station.
Crew was happy to use the new ECDIS run on Linux system.
The Old JRC ECDIS we decided to recycle the old JRC parts for reuse to hope help the environment go green and less waste. At the same time contribute some small gain for our company.
Anyone interested can contact me for quotation. The JRC ECDIS parts were all tested in good working condition before dismantle.

Asian cable ship

Spotted this ship at loyang offshore supply base. I still remember when this ship was first built around year 2000 at Jurong shipyard, I was there to commission the Integrated Bridge System(IBS) delivered by Kongsberg Marinetime Singapore. It took me 3 months to fully commission it. A very tough and fulfilling assignment.

Sperry Marine X-band 25Kw Bulkhead radar

This is a container ship equipped with Bulkhead(Downmast) Transceiver X-band 25KW. The crew has complained that the echo received on the radar screen was very weak, a sun can be observed from near range. Most electronic parts including magnetron, modulator, receiver pcb, limiter, TR cell...etc has been replaced by technician in other port but problem still remain the same. Ship electrician has also confirmed the waveguide was good as he pump air from one end and could receive air from the other. In order to find out whether the fault was on wave guide, antenna or the electronic unit, i have done a test to prove it.
1. Removed the transceiver end top waveguide, placed a test pen with good working bulb above the center of the waveguide.
2. Transmit the radar, the RF signal will then energize the test pen bulb, the brighter the bulb is, the stronger the signal transmit out from the transceiver.
3. Reconnect the transceiver top waveguide, go to monkey Island to open the other end  of the waveguide.
4. Do the same by putting a test pen across the open waveguide, if the bulb appear very weak or totally not lid at all, then the problem lies in the waveguide along the way.
5. Open part by part to check for leakage waveguide, this is not easy. One way it can be done was to pump air at one end and block the air at the other end. Create some foam with soap and apply on the waveguide run.
6. Pump air and observe bubbles from the foam. This is the same method as checking for leak Tyre.

Please see some pictures taken while troubleshooting the waveguide leak problem. This fault is very tricky, anyone find it useful can try the same method without being running up and down changing parts and test the whole day not able to identified the fault.

A typical mismatch and strong reflection from the antenna.
